Geforce 740 GT 4 gb ddr5 troubleshooting

[pet1]

Using El Capitan and upgraded my 240 gt to the card listed. The system boots into a black screen with a disappearing mouse or beachball at times and random sandbox lines flashing. Any ideas or I can can just exchange it for a more compatible card. Thanks.

The ddr5 GT 740 cards seem to require the web drivers.

What clover settings are needed for the web drivers? Thanks.

Install the drivers and then add the boot argument nvda_drv=1. You can add it using Clover Configurator.

Do I have to select web driver from the drop menu before I restart or will it select it automatically when it boots up?

If you are booting with the flag nvda_drv=1 is doesn't matter what the drop down says. Using the drop down adds that flag to your NVRAM but not all motherboards support it and sometimes it gets cleared so it is best to add it to your boot flags in your config.plist.

Worked perfectly. Many thanks.

Although it does default to os x drivers in the menu.
